Why They Succeeded.

/ have sold one farmers fruits and
vegetables for years, getting all that l
could for them, writes New York
commission merchant. but they were
in such shape that they would only
bring low prices, and the farmer never
got ahead, and died leaving a wife and
family and good mortgage on the
farm. The boys went at it, supported
the family, cleared off the mortgage
and now own another farm and have
money at interest. The reason of their
success was that they raised fine pro-
duce. packed it honestly and took a
pride in shipping it to market in the
best, possible shape. Their stuff always
brings good prices and gives the best
of satisfaction. The man who uses
good seed, plenty of manure, and sends
his stuff to market in convenient pack
ages well assorted, will have no fear
of dull market If the package is
new, it will add more to the selling
price than its cost. -EGchange

PRESERVING EGGS.
Obstacles to Success Which Are Not
Always Fully Considered.

Obstacles to Success Which Are Not
Always Fully Considered.
Many various methods are reconl-
mended for preserving eggs, yet very
few manage to keep them in large
numbers. Limited supplies are stored
away for family use, and others are
kept in cold storage, at the great COM
mcrcial centers, but the business of
preserving them for the market has
never become general There are
many obstacles to success which are
not always considered. First, only
fresh eggs are suitable, yet 1t is diff
cult to secure them unmixed with
older ones. A single stale egg may
cause the loss of all in the same package.
Second, eggs from hens which run by
themselves will keep much longer than
those from hens which are kept in
company with males. A fertilized
egg will keep only one-third as long
as one which is sterile. This should
be kept in view, and the males sepa-
rated at least ten days before beginning
to save eggs for storage. An egg
which is unfertilized when placed in
an incubator, and kept at tempera-
ture of one hundred and three degrees,
will remain unchanged and fit for the
table at the end of two weeks, while a
fortified egg, under similar conditions,
would either be two-thirds incubated
or rotten. The difference in keeping
qualities of the two kinds of eggs is
equally great in cool room. though
not so rapidly manifested.
A third important point is to turn
the eggs half over at least twice a
week, to keep yolk from adhering to
she'll. II keptin room where the air
is cool, pure and dry, no salt, lime or
chemicals are needed. The eggs may
be placed upon racks, to which access
is had for turning. But the difficulty
with most cellars and ice-oool rooms is
that eggs kept in them through hot
weather are liable to acquire musty
flavor. If packed in boxes with oats
and corn, the boxes may be turned
every few days, as indicated above

Multiplying Small Farms.


According to official data the in
crease in the number of farms in the
United States during the past six
years has been about one million, and
the total number at present is esti-
mated at five million. Most of the in
crease has resulted from divisions of
large estates in the South. This has
been going on ever since the war. In
South Carolina, for example, the av-
erage size of farms in 1860 was 4S8
acres, and in 1880 only 143 acres. The
average farm in Texas in 1860 contained
sol acres. and in 1880 it had been re-
duced in size to 20S acres. The same
tendency is noticed although to less
degree, in New York and Pennsyl-
vania. In these States twenty-seven
years ago farms contained on the av-
erage 106 and 100 acres respectively.
In 1880 their average size was SO and
80 acres. Such increase really means
increase in aggregate wealth. 1t
means increase in labor which is
wealth, and it means independence
and self-reliance. -Dirie Farmer.

A Hint to Butter Makers.

Good dairymen say that milk will
absorb foul odors and retain them. l
can believe it now. / have made an
experiment. l worked at place where
butter was made from the milk of four
COWS. The milk was in pans in one
corner, piled on the floor, one above
the other. The stove was at one side
of the pans, and at the other place
was made for old boots and shoes
One pair of rubbers were particularly
offensive. They were placed with the
others at times, and whenever this was
done the odor was plainly perceptiblc
in the butter This was not pleasant
experiment, but it was remarkably
forcible. There are hundreds of
kitchens where butter is made under
such circumstances. Does any body
wonder that there is poor sale for it.

HOUSEHOLD ADVICE
How Ladies' Can Make Their Existence
Pleasant and Profitable.

How Ladies' Can Make Their Existence
Pleasant and Profitable.
Don't entice flies into your cook-room
by leaving little milk in one cup and
grease in another between meals.
Scald your tin vessels with lye water.
Wash your table ware in soapsuds and
rinse them in water slightly blue. Keep
handy piece of sand-paper to rub
your steel knives. Put your silver
spoons, knives and forks in white
flannel sack containing powdered
chalk.
Don't make fire in your backyard
every three months for the purpose Of
burning up your old clothes. Tear
them in strips one-half inch
wide, sew together firmly and
smoothly; wind them into balls.
Have your husband make you two
wooden knitting needles. thirty inches
long, cast on your stitches in the usual
manner for knitting plain cloth, knit
back and forth until you get rug of
any desired length. Spread them
around your cook-stove. Take fifteen
cents and buy you brush for cleaning
the handles of your cups, stands, etc.
Dirt settled around the handles Of
tableware looks nasty. Brush back
your hair and see that your collar is
properly adjusted before sitting down
to do the honors of the table. If you
don't feel pleasant see if you can't as
sumo a pleasant appearance at the
table; nothing looks better.
Don't feed your company on apollo.
gies; give them something more
substantial. Before going out shop
ping know what you want and
the quality of the same; don't
pull and haul over every piece of
goods in the store. If you are not a
good judge of the article you want,
frankly tell your merchant so, and re-
quest him to select it for you. AS a
rule all women are not judges of shoes
and kid gloves. If you can afford but
one fine article of clothing let that be
apair of shoes. Don't wear fifty
cent collar, seventy-cent pair of shoes
and twenty-five cent pair Of gloves
with dress that cost one dollar and
fifty cents ayard Let your whole
suit correspond in quality. Don't put
$40 bureau in your parlor and have
set of rawhide- bottom chairs to go
with it.
Don't entertain your visitors by la
menting over your inferior help, or by
not having any at all. Hire your help
by the year, and pay them a salary
sufficient to keep them. You had bet.
ter pay twelve dollars per month fol
good help than five dollars for inferior.
Don't hire inferior help if you believe
in falling from grace. CHICAGO News

the stranger came back with fine

Natural Seed Time for Grasses.

The seeds of most kinds of hardy
grasses are observed to come up dur
ing this month, if showers of rain
occur, indicating the commencement
of seed time. Owing, however, to the
rather unnatural condition of most of
ur cultivated lands, as compared
with virgin soils freshly cleared, it is
better to defer sowing until the latter
part of the month, or until September
or October, according to latitude We
have sown grass IN August; but the
results do not justify such early SOW
ing as rule, as the young plants are
very apt to be destroyed by the hot
sun and dry weather in September
(Not only do the ordinary non-cereal
grasses show natural tendency to
germinate during the month of August,
but it is matter of common obser-
walton that the seed of oats. rye and
barley, will lie on the surface after
harvest in May andp June, rarely germi-
mating until the rains of August
have set in.) The seeds of crab grass
and other summer grasses. although
still plentiful in the soil, rarely come
up so late as August although the
seasons may be favorable so far as
rainfall is concerned. Such species
seem to be controlled, in their germina-
ton. by sort of plant instinct which
tells them that there will not be time
to develop another crop of seed before
frost The same natural instinct en-
courages the termination of winter
and perennial grasses-those which
will withstand the frosts of
winter, and which require
longer period in which to
develop growth and maturity Under
favorable and natural conditions win
ter grasses succeed well if the seeds
be sown in August; but for the rea-
sons already intimated experience
teaches that the following month ID
the most suitable time. 1t is well,
however, to provide seed, allot the
ground and make needed preparations
for sowing during the next two
months. On strong or moderately fer
tilized clay and lime soils. red clover

reliance; on low and rather moist bot
